Authors' conclusion

NADC and ADC are equally prevalent, stand as a leading argument for TLD, and strongly predict in-hospital death in the current population of PLHIV requiring ICU admission.

Study context

Population
People living with HIV (PLHIV) admitted to 12 university-affiliated intensive care unit (ICUs) in France, 2015–2020PLHIV
Participants
939 participants
Exposure
Active NADC or active ADC vs no cancer
  • ADCn = 106
  • NADCn = 97
Outcome
In-hospital mortality
Methodological details12 university-affiliated ICUs
  • 12 university-affiliated ICUs

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

Adjusted on severity and frailty markers
Each group vs no cancerAdjusted odds ratio (95% CI)
NADC
7.00(4.07–12.05)
ADC
3.11(1.76–5.51)

Observational data: associations, not effects.

Further findings

Treatment limitation decision (TLD) during ICU stay

One-year mortality in survivors of index hospital admission (exploratory)

  • Treatment limitation decision (TLD) during ICU stay: P < 0.0001
  • One-year mortality in survivors of index hospital admission (exploratory): P < 0.0001

Treatment limitation decision (TLD) during ICU stay

Organ failures and non-neoplastic comorbidities less often considered in patients with cancer
